Unit 2 Exploring English
1
This is the first period. In this period,we are going to talk about a new topic. And we are also going to study the new words and expressions in this unit.
Let's look at the title, exploring English. First, it has alliteration here. 押头韵 These two words both begin with the letter s so that we can read it more fluently.
secondly, why is the verb the progressive form? when we use -ing form of a word,that means sth is still moving or developing. English is a lively language, it is changing all the time, so we should keep exploring it.
When we talk about exploring English, what do we explore? SHall we only explore the language, or its culture, so the society who uses this language? In the unit, I am going to take you to explore the ENgish and know more background stories of it.
